WILTON, Conn. (BRAIN) — Cannondale has agreed to a two-year extension of its sponsorship of the long-running Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com team. As in previous years, Cannondale will also support the program's development team. In addition, Dorel's Sugoi and Fabric divisions will continue as official apparel and saddle sponsors.
"Cannondale and Cyclocrossworld.com have been together longer than any other 'cross team in the US," said Stu Thorne, the team manager. "Working together all these years has been a privilege for me and the team. The support is phenomenal, the new 2017 SuperX is any rider's dream bike and the people at Cannondale are like family. I'm really looking forward to this season and years to come."
This season's team will be comprised of four professional riders: Stephen Hyde, Kaitie Antonneau, Curtis White and Emma White. The developmental team has eight riders.
"Not only does Cannondale's partnership with Cyclocrossworld.com provide us with valued product development input from top-tier, world-class pro athletes, but it helps to us to continue our pledge to help grow the sport of 'cross," said Scott Rittschof, senior vice president of global marketing and product development for Cannondale. "We are thrilled to continue our relationship with a team that brings such an incredible amount of excitement and passion to the sport of cycling."
Other team sponsors include SRAM, Zipp, Challenge, Giro, and Feedback Sports.
